5 glorious years of Holiday at tbm, and it couldn’t get any merrier! 🥳 This jolly doodle brightens all our days, whether it’s hitting the streets on pack walks or being a perfect camper at — and none of us are safe from her sneaky fast tongue when she wants to give out kisses. 😋 We love having you here, Holly!

Today marks one whole year of Coal at tbm. 🥲
This extra special Pittie has since won the hearts of all of his Handlers and packmates with ease. We’re so thankful to his Momma for sharing him with us. 💕
Scroll for some tongue action! 😝
Four years ago, there were three matches made in heaven… between two families and their Cunucus, AND between these two besties. 👯♀️
Giggsy and Lilly are quite the pair of pup BFFs and we’re so happy that tbm can help that friendship thrive whenever we can coordinate their walks together. Some things are just meant to be! Happy gotcha day, Lil & Giggs. 💕
Oooh yeah that hits the spot. Only the best for our birthday girl, London! We’ve known Lundy for 5 😱 years now, since she was a wee puppy, and we can all confidently say that she’s one of the goofiest and most unique pups out there. Let’s keep those ear scratches comin! 🥳

It’s this doodle bop’s fourth birthday today!!! 🎂🥳 Good-boy-Max is adored by all at tbm as a top-notch packmate, camper, and all around best buddy.

What better way to celebrate this serious little man’s birthday than to shout out his family, who as of this past week have been with tbm for 11 years!?! 📆
Crouton turns one year old today, but his Dads brought their sweet Frenchie, Steak, to tbm back in 2013. Steak started it all, then along came Whopper, and now Crouton is the newest addition to their beautiful little family. (Do you see a theme? 🥩🍔🥗)
We’re so happy to have you all at tbm! Happy first birthday little dude! 🎂🥳
Time to shine our spotlight on Cornelius, also known as CK, who’s been running the streets of BK with Cash!
- CK 🎬
“I’ve learned many things about dogs since being at tbm, but one important thing I’m sure to take with me everday is understanding the needs of every dog. Like people, dogs have their own personalities so knowing how to cater to that is super important for a happy dog and a smooth walk!”
Q: If you were stuck on an island with one dog from your regular packs, who would you want it to be? How would you two pass the time until help arrived?
“If I had to be stuck on an island with any dog from my regular packs it would be Hank! He’s super chill and a really good dog. I like to talk a lot so we’d probably pass the time listening to me talk about whatever comes to mind.”
100% chance of belly rubs in Babka’s forecast! 🌧️ Walk those pups early tonight and stay safe & dry out there, tbm fam! ☔️
Talk about progress at tbm! This rescue pup, Rubi, has been at tbm for a full year today. 🎉Understandably, she’s a bit fearful and defensive of people entering her home, and building her trust in her handlers has been a thorough journey. Matt, in particular, has shown this pup so much patience and understanding, and their relationship has grown exponentially since their first walk together. We’re so proud of you, Rubi! Happy one year anniversary at tbm. 💕
Our happy howling Aruban wolf, Gadget, turns 3 today! 🥳 Before she was even a twinkle in her mom’s eye, she was a tiny pup with missing fur on the streets of Aruba. Thanks to and she is now FULL of life and energy, and is thriving in New York City with her sister Muddy. We can’t picture life any differently. Happy birthday, Inspector! 🕵️
🍊 August Dog of the Month: Piper
🍊tbm’s impact, from Piper’s family:
“We have had the great pleasure of working with the barking meter (tbm) for more than four years, since Piper joined our family back in 2020 as a puppy. After some 1:1 training from Kara, Piper quickly adapted to her pack walks and handlers. Piper loves her weekday walks with Ciani and crew, and we honestly cannot imagine a better setup for our busy NYC lives, especially now that Piper’s human baby brother is on the scene.
Piper is honored to accept this prestigious award and would like to thank the Academy of Handlers and her fellow nominees and packmates for their phenomenal work.” 🥇
🍊 Piper’s favorite things:
- Affection from any and all people
- Belly rubs
- Family walks in the West Village
- Her monthly Bark Box
- Maz-Ze-Dahr Dog Treats
- Shopping at any store that offers treats
- Sitting on the feet of strangers to get more belly rubs
- Rolling in the sand
- Chasing tennis balls with her two Goldendoodle cousins, Winnie and Monti
Time to shout out one of our newest additions to the team: Bernard! He’s been a seamless addition to the Uptown crew this Summer.
- Bernard ✌️
“My favorite part of the job is just being outside with the dogs, and seeing how and what and who they react to. It never gets old. The dogs are also so lovable it’s really hard not to like the job.”
Q: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are nowhere to be seen. You and three of your tbm pack dogs need to take charge as the ninja crime-fighters of NYC. No one will know the difference with some great disguises! Which 3 dogs would you choose to complete your team?
“I would take Ralphie, Pablo, and Wyatt. Ralphie, because he can blind criminals with his good looks. Pablo, because he is fiesty and can scare enemies off with his high-pitched barks. And lastly, Wyatt, because he can mark his territory every five seconds to help with back-up if we ever need it.”
Say hello to Grover. This Doodley puppy is kicking off his Brooklyn adventure with weekly trainings to ensure he thrives as a little brother to his toddler sibling. He’s making waves and we’re eager to see him join pack walks soon, too!! Cheers to you, lil Grover! 🪲
Back in the day there was only Cleo… and then four years ago, along came Penny! 🌸 🎂 Today our doodly girl turns four years old and her family is as big as ever! We adore Penny, the perfect sister that she is to Cleo and her human siblings, and the perfect packmate that she is to her tbm pals. 💕
One year with Mabel at tbm and it’s been sweet as maple! 🍯🍁 This sweetie pie joined tbm a year ago and immediately became such an important staple in her uptown pack, beloved among her packmates and pack leaders. 💕
We go nuts for Cashew!! 🤪 This week marks one year with this sweet guy at tbm! 🥜🌰 can we get a cashew emoji??
Since joining us in 2023, he’s fit perfectly into his regular uptown crew and has grown his confidence so much. Thanks for hanging with us, Cashew! 💕
Today we’re also celebrating Winnie’s second birthday! 🎂2️⃣ This golden girl lights up everyone’s day with her smile and great attitude. Thanks for always bringing the sunshine, Win! ☀️
Happy 11th birthday 😱 to the sweetest Chewy! She’s filled some big shoes from her big sister Lucca and continues to be her crew’s Matriarch, leading the way for Mud & Gadget. We love you Chewy. 💕🎂
This past weekend, Rigby & his mom celebrated his gotcha day, and we’ve been happy to earn his trust and give him scratches ever since. We love you Mr. Riggles! 💕🪩

Spread the word and let’s find Mr. Pickles his !! 🏡

⛵️ July Dog of the Month: Pascoe
⛵️tbm’s impact, from Pascoe’s family:
“Pascoe came to use via Aruba and the incredible Cunucu Dog Rescue () team in September 2020, and tbm quickly became our beloved support crew for the big boy! From training with Kara, pack walks with the Chelsea and Brooklyn teams, and camptbm adventures, the entire tbm family has been instrumental in helping Pascoe become a laidback city local.
We’re forever grateful for their support when we welcomed our daughters and they ensured the P-man was taken care of and adapting to his big brother role. He’s going to miss his tbm fam when we move to Colorado at the end of the month!”
⛵️ Pascoe’s favorite things:
• his pack walk pals, Mud & Gadget
• his Cucuncu bestie, Moxie

Say the magic word! 🍭🍬🦴 #teamtbm
When it’s been one year at #teamtbm and you simply can not get enough. Cheers to our boy Floyd — it’s a very special honor when we start working with a family within those first days of bringing a dog home. Floyd has brought great joy to his family though his real magic is how he transformed his sisters paralyzing fear of dogs into a young girl who can not wait to be with Floyd every day. Witnessing that transformation, and having the family trust me to guide them, makes Floydo a light at #tbmBk. 🌠
Family outing. 👾
Today’s session: the value of recall! Within the hour, Mowgli pivoted at a moments notice — even with the distraction of a ball or stick — to come, sit, and wait for her next command. It starts with meaning what we say, setting boundaries with leash tension, and praising for good decisions. Turn up the beats. 🥇
Hip hip hooray! It’s Friday!! 🍩
Good night, moon. 🌚 (Lula, CampTBM with Jaime 🦋)
Eve eve with the ladies. 🤶☃️🎄🍻 _______________________________________________ A peak into #CampTBM: All is merry especially when we get time together, @aashleys12 @jaime_1231 @thekizalicious
The wild animal kingdom at play. 🐶🐱 (Luna and her feline bro Franco)
Never too early in the week to get goofy. 😝🔊 (Chewy, @changyandbaroo for tongue out Tuesday)
Monday got me like ... 🦍 (Burger)
Sunday best: Wearing my heart on my sleeve, accompanied by four perfect furballs, of course. 👔💜 (Lucca & Chewy host Bubba & Lexington at CampTBM)
